How to delete a Symbolic Link?

[The 5 Virtues]

Hey folks,

I've got a new computer (3 months old) on Windows 7.
This morning I created a Symbolic Link using SymLink Creator, trying to link my SSD C: drive to a secondary Hard Drive I use for big programs. My hope was that I could Rosetta Stone without in taking up all the space in my C: drive.
I made the link, it said it was successfully created... and Rosetta Stone still wouldn't install to the hard drive that I tried to make the symlink to.

I've since talked to the Rosetta Stone customer service and have just flat out abandoned the idea of even trying to get Rosetta Stone put on this computer, but now I want to delete this Symbolic Link... and I cannot figure out how to do it.

I downloaded a program called NTFSLinksView to try and locate this symlink I created and delete it, but the program confused the heck out of me. Could some kind soul please help me find find and delete this symlink? I've got concerns that I may have done it wrong, and I didn't need it for anything other than Rosetta Stone so I'd really just like to be rid of it. If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Why would you create a symlink directly to the entire drive? Is the symlink created successfully? I don't know how to search via Windows, but on Linux, it is fairly simple to look through and see if there is a symlink in certain places. So try a Linux LiveCD, mount the Windows partition, and go through the main directories.

Question 1: Because I am not a smart man! Honest, yes, smart, not so much. (It was actually what somebody on here recommended when I was first trying to work out a way to get Rosetta Stone installed onto the Hard Drive)

Question 2: Any recommendations for where I can get a Linux LiveCD? From what I've just researched on it it seems like it would be a pretty useful thing even if it turned out not to be useful for this particular situation.

Anywhere. Find a Linux Distribution that you like, download the ISO, and burn it to a USB, CD, or DVD. For something that is meant to run as a LiveCD, I recommend Knoppix. Of course, almost every single Linux distribution comes in LiveCD format.

Just find the link in explorer and delete it. It's that simple. Also, the icon in explorer should have a little arrow like your desktop shortcuts depending on if you created a hard link or a symlink.
